  • The Left Dominates the Legal System, and They’re Taking Down GOP Election Attorneys en Masse

    The day after the 2020 presidential election, I predicted the left was going to target any attorney who dared to get involved challenging election fraud. They’d already started successfully targeting conservative attorneys, it just hadn’t gotten much attention yet. Since most people are bored by legal issues, they fly under the radar. I wrote about it over a year ago, and things have gotten far worse since then. This year, they launched “The 65 Project” to brazenly accomplish it, named after the 65 lawsuits Trump-affiliated attorneys filed after the election. The left has developed a powerfully coordinated legal election effort...

    Lawyer is involved in efforts to redraw congressional districts in New York, Maryland Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias has long decried the evils of gerrymandering. Now, he's getting rich off it. Democratic and progressive groups paid Elias's firm more than $1 million in the most recent quarter, according to Federal Election Commission records released this week. One of Elias's biggest clients, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, is leading efforts to redraw congressional districts in New York and Maryland. With polls indicating Democratic losses in November, the controversial gerrymander scheme is seen as the party's best hope of maintaining majority control...

    It used to be that 90% of the time, you accessed stuff only on your computer’s local network. Then in 1993 at the University of Illinois, Marc Andreessen developed Mosaic, the first internet browser, which allowed users to wander around the World Wide Web 90% of the time. He moved to Silicon Valley and founded Netscape. Mr. Andreessen is now a general partner at a top-decile venture-capital firm, better than 90% of its peers. Andreessen Horowitz recently raised $9 billion in new funds.

    Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias, a key figure in the “Russia collusion” hoax, has parted ways with the Perkins Coie law firm, ahead of the anticipated release of Special Counsel John Durham’s report into the origins of the Russia inquiry. < snip > Constitutional law scholar Jonathan Turley, who has followed Elias closely, called his departure significant Sunday, as it came “before the release of the John Durham report.” It is not yet clear whether that report will be made public.

    The effect on Mezvinsky’s hedge fund has been gruesome. It raised $25 million for its investments, but had already lost about 40 percent of its value by early 2015. Rather than shuttering the fund then, Mezvinsky pressed ahead.

    Terror expert and author Marc Thiessen told Bill O’Reilly tonight that Obama eliminated the enhanced interrogation tool from our counter-terrorism arsenal his second day in office. So the tool that got us the information that led us to Osama Bin Laden is no longer in use. The US has not cpatured and detained and tinterrogated a single high level detainee since Barack Obama moved into office.

    Here is video of Laura Ingraham in for Bill O'Reilly talking with Marc Lamont Hill and Tammy Bruce about Diane Watson's comments about Obama opponents being anti-black. Marc Lamont Hill said "there is a racial dimension to this" and "as someone who has been to the town hall meetings there are many people who are deeply anxiety ridden because there is an African American in office and they do not want to see him succeed." Ingraham pointed out "this is about health care NOT about race." (Watch Video)

    Impeachment recommendations for AG Marc Dann coming Friday at earliestKim Wendel Updated:5/7/2008 2:49:43 PM COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio House Republicans say recommendations on how an impeachment process against Attorney General Marc Dann would proceed won't be coming until Friday, at the earliest. Ohio House Speaker Jon Husted has asked state Rep. Bill Batchelder, a former appeals court judge, to review the process and determine the standards that are necessary for an impeachment. Ohio House Minority Leader Joyce Beatty has also appointed three Democrats to look into a possible impeachment. Lawmakers on both sides say they are proceeding cautiously because Ohio...

    Though I have never tasted the horror and incomprehensible sadness of sitting beside a dying teammate; I have experienced the bond formed by self-sacrificing teammates while an active duty SEAL in the 1990’s. It has not only defined me as a man. But it has given me a sincere appreciation for what it means to be a warrior: An understanding that not all men are warriors. And why America owes so much to its cardinal warriors like Marc Lee and the men who served – and continue to serve – on his left and his right.

    "...Yet this pastoral playground is the home base of Marc Rich, the former fugitive billionaire commodities trader, who was pardoned by Bill Clinton in his last day as U.S. president in early 2002. It is also the headquarters of Xstrata PLC, the mining powerhouse which Monday bought 19.9 per cent of Canadian nickel giant Falconbridge Ltd., putting it in position to launch a potential takeover bid for the company. Xstrata often gets mentioned in the same breath as Mr. Rich. Both are part of the huge trading community drawn to Zug by extremely low taxes, privacy and comfortable surroundings. (Canadian...

    Aug 2, 2005 : 9:26 pm ET RALEIGH, N.C. -- Democrats worked Tuesday to settle differences over pay raises, cigarette taxes and a lottery so they can close a budget deal for state government. House and Senate Democrats, who hold a majority in the Legislature, met privately for much of the past three days -- in caucus meetings, negotiation sessions and one-on-ones between House Speaker Jim Black and Senate leader Marc Basnight. "We're getting closer on these things," said Black, D-Mecklenburg. Legislative leaders want to have their final $17 billion spending blueprint for this year by late Wednesday. The new...

    Okay, today our theme, for this fourth "class," is emotional expressionism. This developed in the first decade of the twentieth century and features Matisse, as a French Expressionist (or Fauvist, if you want to get really picky) and the two branches of German Expressionism: the Bridge and the Blue Rider. They are all inspired by the work of van Gogh and Cezanne which we saw in the last “lesson”: the emotional power of van Gogh and the strong composition of Cezanne. Henri Matisse (1869-1954) dropped out of a career as a lawyer. He became a leader of the Fauves (which...

In a brief press statement, Marc Rich Holding said the allegations that Rich made illegal payments to Iraq in order to secure lucrative oil contracts are groundless. A spokesman declined to comment on whether a U.S. criminal investigation has been opened into the matter. The allegations were first reported by ABC News in early December....

    Pariah Against A Prophet By Marc Miyake, Amritas.Com Many conservatives regard Chomsky as a linguist who falters out of his field. Unfortunately, they are giving Chomsky too much credit. Chomsky's linguistics are as warped as his politics. As someone with a PhD in linguistics, I think I am qualified to judge his professional credentials. Prior to Chomsky, linguists engaged in a lot of data collection to understand the diversity of human language. I'm vehemently anti-PC, but in this case, I think the word 'diversity' is justified. There's a lot out there, and someone's got to catalog it. However, Chomsky...

    WASHINGTON - Former President Clinton (news - web sites) says he regrets the last-minute pardon he gave to fugitive financier Marc Rich (news - web sites) because it has tarnished his reputation. Asked if he would do it again, "probably not, just for the politics," he said in an interview with Newsweek magazine. "It was terrible politics. It wasn't worth the damage to my reputation. But that doesn't mean the attacks were true." A list of 177 pardons and clemencies was released by the Clinton White House just hours before Clinton left office and George W. Bush was sworn in...
